Suicidal
risk or tentative is an intricate part of any mental health professional.
Having to promote life in suicidal patient is delicate and sometimes complex
thing to do. Considering the prevalence
numbers in our western societies, having more tools seems a necessity.

This
program has no cool graphics, no interactivity, and no more information than a
web page. So why would we bother talking
about it? Simply because it does what it’s
supposed to do: create a one click
access to important information and to get immediate support.

The ASK
& Prevent Suicide app provides basic information about suicidal risk
for patient and their loved ones. Having
the information readily available in your pocket will diminish steps needed to
get help (in turn increase the likelihood of getting help). A plus, is that it’s always available, even if
you don’t have a WiFi or data connection.
The ASK
& Prevent Suicide app also offers hotline numbers for Suicide
Prevention, for Veterans and for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender,
Questioning. One click and you’re on the
phone with the proper hotline. These
hotlines are only available in the United States.

Having more
people armed to face suicidal risks will only help to save lives.
